Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 37: Fan Yu, Zhang Ya, and Muyang Middle School

As Zhang Peng's number of deaths increased.

Zhang Ze observed an interesting phenomenon.

After the initial confusion and helplessness, this guy began to summarize his experience each time he was resurrected, judging his situation by the handwriting deliberately left by Zhang Ze.

And try as much as possible to explore the patterns of the world behind the door.

Zhang Ze did not tell Zhang Peng about the patterns of the bear, the deformed figure, and Lingling.

However, after dozens of deaths, Zhang Ze discovered that Zhang Peng had also gradually mastered these rules. Although he would lose his memory with each death, he would do his best to write down the information he had learned.

The ways to write it down include, but are not limited to...

Carve words on the ground with stones you find, find the bathtub in the cabin, or simply cut your arm open, stain the sheets with your blood, and write on them.

This discovery surprised Zhang Ze somewhat.

After all, many people would be driven crazy if they experienced what Zhang Peng went through, and Zhang Ze was also completely aiming to drive Zhang Peng crazy.

The result, however, aroused Zhang Peng's most primal and fundamental will to survive.

"Heh, humans, indeed, only in desperate situations can the strongest and most tenacious willpower be unleashed."

"However... the more resilient something is, the more completely it will collapse when it is utterly destroyed."

Zhang Ze is not afraid of a protracted war.

His current strength is at the level of the Red-Clothed Demon. He has complete control over a door, and ordinary people like Zhang Peng, who are at most a bit ruthless, cannot escape his grasp.

He held an absolute advantage in this game.

In the following days, for two or three consecutive days, Zhang Ze accompanied Zhang Peng in a battle of wits in the forest, using crows to monitor Zhang Peng's every move.

They continued to operate their haunted house normally.

As the haunted house flourished, Zhang Ze also noticed changes in Chen Ge's haunted house.

For example, one night, the ticket booth at Chen Ge's haunted house suddenly changed, becoming eerie and resembling an artwork specially designed with horror elements.

Uncle Xu was amazed when he saw it during the day, wondering how Chen Ge managed to change to a new ticket booth without making a sound.

Zhang Ze, however, knew very well.

Chen Ge completes the task on the black phone and receives a reward: Midnight Ticket Booth.

The effect is that there is a very low probability of refreshing special customers.

"This system is terrible, it's nowhere near as good as Chen Ge's black phone."

"Oh well, what can you do when someone is born to your own parents? It's just infuriating to compare yourself to others."

Zhang Ze couldn't help but sigh.

As expected, a son is truly cared for by his own parents.

Since there's a chance that special customers will appear at the midnight ticket booth, Zhang Ze didn't hold back and specially arranged for a crow to stand on the ticket hall, ostensibly to help create a scary atmosphere.

The real purpose was to use crows as informants to monitor the actions of special customers.

Chen Ge saw it, and even with his Yin Eyes, he could tell that something was wrong with the crow, but it wasn't convenient for him to say anything. After all, in other people's eyes, the crow was just an ordinary crow, and it would be too petty to go against a bird.

the next day.

The crows, with their keen eyesight, indeed spotted the situation.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, listen to me. Let's not go to that haunted house across the street. It's better to come to this haunted house instead. This one has more scenes. Aren't you the one who likes horror games the most...?"

A dark-skinned, thin woman led a little boy into New Century Amusement Park. When they arrived at the ticket booth, Chen Ge, who had received a notification from a black cell phone, had been waiting for a long time.

"Tickets cost 20 yuan per person."

"Did you come from the haunted house across the street?" Chen Ge asked in confusion.

The dark-skinned, thin woman smiled awkwardly. "Yes, that haunted house across the street gave me a bad feeling. The owner of that haunted house looked at me like I was a bad guy, so I brought Xiaoyu to your haunted house."

Chen Ge looked the thin, dark-skinned woman over again. "It's not suitable for underage children to visit haunted houses. If they get scared and cause problems, it will be difficult to handle. If you insist on visiting, I can accompany you."

"Thank you. Xiao Yu kept pestering me to come to the haunted house. Her parents disappeared when she was little..."

……

……

Although Zhang Ze was not present.

Through the crows, Zhang Ze listened to the dark-skinned, thin woman's description.

As expected, Fan Yu came to find Chen Ge.

When Fan Yu first entered New Century Amusement Park, he wanted to visit Zhang Ze's haunted house. Zhang Ze was naturally very welcoming and even offered Fan Yu and his aunt a 50% discount on their tickets.

But Aunt Fan Yu is quite perceptive.

Perhaps sensing that Zhang Ze's attitude towards her was not quite right, or perhaps it was just a woman's intuition, Aunt Fan Yu still forcibly took Fan Yu away and sent her to Chen Ge's haunted house.

After the visit, Fan Yu's aunt took Fan Yu away.

But Chen Ge seemed preoccupied.

He saw a new task appear on the black phone.

Muyang Middle School.

Scream factor: 2 stars.

What shocked Chen Ge even more was that a special reminder was added at the end of the mission on the black phone:

[Your competitor's current scenario: Crow's Nest, Scream Factor: 2 stars]

[The lucky ghost favors you; surpass your rivals and show them who the most terrifying ghost story in this city truly is.]

Chen Ge: ?

Chen Ge knew that the Crow's Nest was definitely more terrifying than the Ghost Marriage and Midnight Escape, otherwise it wouldn't attract so many tourists, but he didn't expect Zhang Ze's first appearance to be a scream index of 2 stars.

How did you do that?

It's worth noting that Chen Ge started out penniless and had to work incredibly hard to get the 1-star Midnight Escape scene.

Even the private school in Xicheng where Zhang Ya studied only had two stars, and there was also a red-clad female ghost named Zhang Ya who inexplicably fell in love with him.

"Could it be that this Zhang Ze's parents also disappeared and left him a black cell phone?" Chen Ge was completely puzzled.

If Zhang Ze's surname wasn't Zhang, and not Chen...

He even began to suspect that his parents had secretly conceived a second child after their disappearance, and that Zhang Ze was his long-lost brother walking among the people.

Forget it.

No matter what.

The black phone issues the command.

It must surpass Zhang Ze's haunted house.

Chen Ge didn't stand on ceremony and began to inventory the equipment.

"A skull crusher, live streaming equipment, and..."

Glancing at Zhang Ya in his shadow, Chen Ge felt even more confident. Ever since Zhang Ya returned to the haunted house with him, she had been lurking in his shadow.

He resolved to deal with the Mirror Ghost last night.

It was Zhang Ya who directly strangled the Mirror Ghost at the crucial moment, using countless strands of hair to entangle it, and then devoured it alive right in front of Chen Ge!

At this point, the safety hazards of the haunted house were completely eliminated.

If we don't count Zhang Peng, who is still missing, Chen Ge has nothing to worry about anymore.

As dusk fell.

Chen Ge's phone navigation locked onto Muyang Middle School. As the New Century Amusement Park closed, he slowly walked to the entrance, as if making some kind of decision.

"Zhang Ze, I know you can hear me."

No matter how terrifying you are, I will surpass you.

"Midnight Escape, Dusk Sun Middle School, a Ghostly School with Psychic Entities..."

"I won't allow anyone to step on my head, especially a fellow haunted house maker."
